Garçon Means Boy

Garcon Means Boy 6

Garçon Means Boy is a group founded by Andrew Mouck; other collaborators include Phil Horwitz, Alex Seguin, and myself. One of the first performances of the group was a loosely structured jam on Andrew’s rooftop amid Queen’s University’s homecoming celebrations (which would entitle them to a fine for violating municipal noise bylaws). Garçon Means Boy is currently producing a release for 2008.

  • Andrew Mouck - guitar / vocals
  • Phil Horwitz - bass
  • Alex Seguin - drums
  • Matthew Brehmer - keys
